Things to see and do Toco

The road that gives access to Galera Point runs along a very beautiful beach, undeveloped, unsupervised, but sheltered by coconut trees and where there is also a small coral reef. On weekends, this beach is used as a picnic area by the local population, and small snacks are served in stands set up for the occasion. The rest of the week, the beach is usually deserted. Snorkelers, this coral reef is ideal for a short trip with your mask, snorkel and fins to swim in the currents.

As you climb to the top of this rocky cape, you'll have a magnificent view of the ocean that juts wildly out from the foot of steep cliffs, battered by an often rough and quite treacherous sea. The Cape is a favorite place for shamans and descendants of the Amerindians who worship the Orishas, especially for the Olukun Festival (Celebration of the Ocean) which takes place on February 21 each year. This festival is marked by a procession that leaves from the lighthouse of Galera. Offshore are two merchant ships torpedoed by a German ship in 1941.
